Marvel: Stark Tower Dungeon

Arthur arrived at the National Assembly with Tony.

Many news reporters had arrived before them and when they got out of the car.

They quickly took photos of them. 

Flash after flash made Arthur feel a little irritated but it was manageable.

「Hold it in, right there, Art. Don't let out the dragon roar or else they would die.」

「He can heal them with the restorative magic after though」

「Shuu, don't teach the kid bad things!」

Arthur sighed he knew what he should and should not do. 

Both Great Red and Ophis just overreacted all the time.

Most of the new reporters that came here were hired by Tony. 

They would only take the best photo of him and his stepson.

Arthur felt like he had become a celebrity or something. In which it was kind of true.

Anyone related to Tony would become the talk of the town the next morning without fail.

Good or bad didn't matter.

The news reporters noticed his handsome face. 

They couldn't help but take note that they should make a separate article about how handsome Tony's stepson was.

'I can smell it! It will also become a big hit!'

They both were wearing formal suits and it made them both very standout in the crowd.

"Are you ready for your debut, Arthur?"

Tony asked while looking at him. 

He was just a normal mutant teenager before he took him in not too long ago.

Normally, when the newcomers face such hord of news reporters. They would feel threatened and didn't want to face them.

However, in Arthur's case, he didn't show any sign of nervousness at all. 

It was like he was used to the limelight.

"You can handle yourself well. I am really proud of you."

Arthur rolled his eyes and told him that it wasn't that hard. All he had to do was just treat them like they were NPCs.

"Alright, let's go in shall we."

Tony led Arthur inside the National Assembly. 

He had come here so many times in the past that he lost count of it.

This time it would be his win again.

Because he was Tony Stark.

…

Inside the hall of the National Assembly.

Tony once again stood in front of the judge and the councilors. 

Behind him was the horde of news reporters.

The judge and the councilors felt annoyed because this wasn't the first time Tony did something like this.

They couldn't send them out either because they had the right to know what was going on.

And if they forced them to get out. They could say goodbye to the right of the Stark Tower.

Tony would use that opportunity to make a heavy blow to him. 

They might even lose their precious position.

Pierce looked at him and he felt like killing him. 

Almost all of his plans were ruined because of him.

'I will deal with you after this myself.'

Pierce had prepared a surprise gift for him.

Arthur didn't look at Pierce directly but he could tell that the man must have planned something.

He was full of evil thoughts that he felt sick because of the baby dragon's sense.

Dragons were capable of feeling emotions from the living being but because they were arrogant. 

They had never used it as an advantage.

He checked his status and found that he was just above average human. 

He didn't even have the dungeon system awakened.

He must have wanted it to be awakened badly. 

Unfortunately, he was not worthy enough of it because he always lived his life like a turtle.

When danger came to him he just hid. The dungeon system deemed him to be worthless.

"Please hand over the ownership to the world security council. We will reimburse you for everything."

Pierce offered. 

He had made it feel like Tony was the one who made a mistake and thus the dungeon broke out.

And that was a mistake on his part.

"Again? Last time you wanted my team and my suit. And now you blame everything on me even though Reed Richard and Bruce Banner said that the portal was natural born. You said it was I who made it and should be held responsible for everything." 

Tony went silent before he spoke.

"My android robots with the cost that was more than supercars tried their best to stop the dungeon from breaking out so the damage would be lessened. Shouldn't they be honored? My mark 300s is no longer with me and you still shamelessly asked for my home!"

Tony pointed his finger toward them and continued.

"Have you all also forgotten who helped the citizens reconstruct their home and even gave them money?"

Tony dramatically spoke with a broken heart expression.

"Now you want my home? I didn't think the government and the world security council wanted me to be homeless that badly. Sorry but I won't transfer it to anyone."

Arthur never thought he could be a great actor like this.

Tony stood his ground and he showed them how to manipulate the media.

And it was super effective because everything he said was the truth. He had never been stingy when it came to charity.

His father always taught him about sharing.

And now the final nail to the coffin before they could recover from his dramatic accusations.

He had Jarvis show them the information about the dungeon and said.

"You all want my treasure! Find them, everything in this world is there! The era of the dungeon climbers has come! Don't let the government shit and his goon have their way. Go and climb as high as you can! I will let everyone go inside the dungeon free of charge!"

Tony knew that he couldn't keep the dungeon all to himself, and that he would have to share it with others sooner or later, so of course he let everyone in.

But there was a condition. 

He would not take any responsibility if there were people who cannot come out of the dungeon. 

They would have to be responsible for their own lives.

"Isn't that what you want? I hope you guys don't think about obstructing other people's rights. This is America!"

Every witness shouted. They didn't think they would be this hyped up when Tony said all of that.

It was like magic to them when they heard the word treasure!

Pierce felt so angry that his face almost turned red but because he was an expert in espionage he could control his expression well.

The judge and the councilors had no way to refute him.

Because all he said was the truth. Even Chales Xavier supported Tony by giving them the test results from his professor as well.

Hang was also the best mind just like Tony and the others.

The Nation Assembly once again became a laughing stock for the people.

The citizens were supporting Tony because they really got help from him directly before the government could do anything.

And it couldn't help at all when all of the shelters around New York also had Stark Logo on them.

Stark was in everyone's life. 

There was no way they would stop supporting him.

The judge called the end of the assembly. They lost too much face but fortunately, Tony didn't have any plan to make a base inside the dungeon.

"Well, that ends real quick. I don't even understand why they bothered to set the stage to be slapped on the face like this."

Arthur wondered and couldn't get the answer.

"Or maybe they were masochists?"

He shook his head. There was nothing he could get from solving this mystery. Only Tony and them knew what was going on in their heads.

"Let them be with their kink, I am pretty hungry. Do you want to go grab something to eat?"

Tony asked Arthur. 

There was nothing for him to do here anymore so why not go grab something to eat.

Something like a set of big cheeseburgers that Pepper would ban him because of health concerns.

But now Peppe was going to be so busy and wouldn't have the time to scold him.

Tony would let all of his bloody hounds clear everything for him.

"I want Mister Kenny's food."

"Same mind, he has the best cheeseburger I can hope for. let's go then."

Tony called Happy to pick them up and tell Kenny beforehand that they would go to eat at his restaurant.

While both Tony and Arthur were having the best time in their life.

Someone was getting in so much trouble.

Pierce looked at their disappearing back and smirked with cruelty.

"I hope you enjoy my gift Tony Stark. And you as well lucky bastard. Your luck ends when you choose to become that bastard son."

Pierce didn't know that both Tony and Arthur didn't have luck in their life. They survive because of their skills.

And it was him who needed luck the most when Jarvis already targeted him by the order of Arthur.

Jarvis with his new found power could hack into any system in the world and even with the offline system.

Jarvis could still access it. Anything that was based on digital data. He had access to all. 

This was Jarvis's personal magic!

"In the name of Jarvis, I will punish you bad hydra! :("

Happy came and picked them up in front of the National Assembly.

He drove them through the busy road.

Tony and Arthur talked to each other about what they should do inside the dungeon next time.

Tony decided to go into the dungeon to make the base even greater.

"Tony, I think we have a problem."

Arthur could sense something heading toward their way very quickly.

He looked outside the window of the car and saw many black armored men were riding motorcycles toward them.

They were equipped with guns and swords.

They were showing hostility towards them.

"Those black armored men looked shit though. My Iron Man suit is much better than theirs."

"Is that what is in your mind at a time like this?" 

Arthur shook his head and then he checked their status.

He asked Tony to check their status but Tony shook his head.

"I can't check their status. I didn't even know we could do that?"

"You can't?"

"Yes, I can't. If I can check somebody else's status. Doesn't that mean there is no privacy in the system. Wait a minute, You can?"

"Yes, I can."

"Then keep this a secret between us. I can only check the status of monsters, items, and people in the dungeon. Not the other dungeon climbers or anyone in our world."

Arthur nodded his head and he had to be careful from now on.

"They were all dungeon climbers their level is around 1 and 2 and their parameters are all D to C at best, Weak as fu-"

Arthur told Tony and he almost cursed but was stopped.

"Language my boy. Lately you become quite aggressive like you have hulk in you. We need to talk before it becomes a problem."

Tony had noticed his change. He didn't know if there was something inside him like Bruce Banner or not.

Something that could change him in personality.

Arthur and Tony came out of the car and they were immediately surrounded by the black armored men.

They pointed their guns at them and were ready to shoot at any given moment.

"Come with us and you two will be unharm."

They said like the two of them would follow their order.

Tony and Arthur were stubborn and they would never listen to them.

Tony was the one who spoke first.

"Really? Is that really the best threat you can make? Come on, try harder buddies."

Tony laughed and mocked thier threat as if it were a threat that little kids would use.

They didn't show any expression, they seemed well-trained and weren't distracted by Tony's taunts and ridicules.

"They are members of Hydra. Pierce sent them."

"Pierce sent them? Do you mean that Pierce?"

"Yes, that one. We should wipe them out and confront Pierce later."

Arthur and Tony both were at level 3 and their parameters were much higher than them.

They could wipe them out without much difficulty.

And when Arthur was about to unleash his powerful dragon roar that he had been holding the whole time.

Tony stopped him and said.

"I know you are very strong but you have to take in surroundings before doing anything, Watch me."

If Arthur used dragon roar. The other people who didn't and couldn't escape might be harmed.

Arthur nodded and watched him. He knew that Tony had always had something in his sleeve.

Tony wasn't in full Iron man suit, only his hand. But that should be enough to deal with them.

He raised his hand forward before his armored arm opened and fired a barrage of small rockets at the Hydras.

The Hydra members who saw his attack dodged and counterattacked with their guns.

"You guys are so outdated. Are you still thinking of using guns?"

Tony created a force field that matters couldn't pass through.

And the bullets got destroyed easily.

"Use swords. Kill them at a close range."

The hydra members changed strategy. 

They would fight them in close quarters combat instead.

They thought that Tony and Arthur would be physically weak.

However, they soon realize that wasn't the case at all.

Arthur dodged their attacks with minimum movement and then slapped them on the face sending them away.

Their heads caved in and then splatter like watermelons. Once again Arthur lost control of his strength.

"How? You should not be able to dodge us who got enhanced physically by the system…"

The hydra members saw them slowly wiping them out and understood that their level must be higher than them.

Even though they hadn't gone inside the dungeon yet, Tony and Arthur just went inside of it only one time.

How could they be this strong already?

"We need backup! Send out the ballista!"

The ballista that they were mentioning was a huge car that had war grade weapons on them.

All of the weapons were targeting them and would soon attack them with all of its might.

"I won't let you do that."

Arthur used the authority of sloth. 

He didn't even infuse it with his dragon mana.

The hands shredded the weapons, no…the entire car as if it was made of paper.

He was even stronger than Petelgeuse Romanee-Conti in controlling the power of sin.

The hydra members saw that and they could tell that their situation wasn't very good.

"We need to retreat."

"You want to leave after provoking us. What do you think of us? You bastard courting death."

Arthur wouldn't let them leave that easily. 

He would shoot them on the knees with dragon marble created from pure mana.

They would then lose mobility and would stay still until Shield agents would arrive and deal with them accordingly.

"Fortunately, no one had the title of spy. This means that they are not from Shield. He really purged them like he had said."

Tony whistled at how ruthless Arthur could be. 

A hit on the knee would demote them into a mere guard in a certain case.

Shield agents arrived quickly and they didn't have the title of spy from Hydra as well.

They had come by Fury's order.

"Let us take care of them."

The shield agent captain looked at Arthur. He didn't think that the boy that day would be this powerful.

If he knew he wouldn't let X-men try to recruit him and bring him to Shield by force.

Seeing that expression. Arthur's eyes changed color to become like both Great Red and Ophis eyes.

He could feel a disgusting smell from him. Shield was basically the same as Hydra. They were only different because of different goals.

Tony saw the changing in mood came in front of Arthur and said to the Shield Agent Captain.

He wasn't intending on saving Arthur because he knew he could take care of himself.

He was now helping the captain. He was still useful when alive.

"If you do that. Shield would no longer exist. Believe me my son can hold a grudge greater than anyone. You don't want to be on the receiving end, believe me."

Tony spoke the truth. He could see it in his eyes that were the eyes who hold wrath inside.

And if it was unleashed then he would run away as far as possible from him.
